Twenty Seven Years

My birthday present to myself arrived today!

I had been keeping a watchful and lustful eye over the twenty-seven namesPresent Tense Dress for a long time. But it was not until the size, price and Australian dollar conversion stars all aligned (online at Superette) that I could finally call this little beauty mine. I cannot wait to wear this dress!

In the meantime, I've allowed myself to create my dream birthday outfit in lieu of any suitable outings fit for such a dress.

It's my imaginary birthday outfit - and I'll dress in golden hues and smell like a floral punch in the face if I want to!
